SVM

Before moving forward with the to-do list, let’s throw a Random Forest to it.

SVM

For many reasons, Random Forest is usually a very good baseline model. In this particular case I started with the polynomial OLS as baseline model, just because it was so evident from the correlations that the relationship between temperature and consumption follows a polynomial shape. But let’s go back to a beloved RF.

The default value of `dual` will change from `True` to `'auto'` in 1.5. Set the value of `dual` explicitly to suppress the warning.

Liblinear failed to converge, increase the number of iterations.

Well, not that bad, but it is overfitting quite a lot.
